Readers' Choice Top 10 Most Cinematic Moments in Gaming

Back in April we presented our Top 25 Video Game Cinematic Moments. The article featured clips which were voted by the GameSpy staff as the most cinematic moments in gaming. These clips could be anything from cutscenes to intros, endings, even trailers. Needless to say, we got quite a reaction from you, many of which were emails from people who were appalled that a certain scene or movie was left off the list.

It wasn't long after that when we decided to let you, our readers, make your own list. We held open nominations in our forums and compiled a list of eligible cinematics from the results. We then put up a poll of 61 different clips for everyone to vote on. After two weeks of voting we gathered the results and put together the list you see now. Remember, this is the result of your nominations and your votes. So without any further delays, we present you the GameSpy Readers' Choice Top 10 Video Game Cinematic Moments!

6. Half-Life (PC) - Tram Ride Intro

Who would've guessed that such a mellow opening would be used for such an intense game. The deliberately-paced tram intro to Half-Life is a bit long, but it gives you a good look at the Black Mesa facility before the proverbial poo hits the fan.

5. Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS2) - Ending

Spoiler Alert! If you haven't beaten Metal Gear Solid 3 yet you may want to skip this one. This clip is easiliy the longest in the bunch and if you haven't played the game you'll probably be a bit lost as to exactly what's going on. Still, it's always easy to appreciate the artistry of this amazing game from Konami.
